I left a couple of months ago. Couldn't be happier.

The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.

This along with the new social credit, starting to wonder if Reddit is selling data to China. Say something bad about China or Winnie the Pooh and they at best turn you away, or at worst incarcerate you.

Didn't Tencent invest into it? There were a lot of asian-targeting communities they could've been interested in besides affecting american\EU politics. I believe a lot of chinese expats and even chinese people over VPN frequented reddit.
